I just learned that. It really surprised me. George Washington owned like 316 slaves.

Coop, you need a history lesson my friend. Slavery was not legal or even practiced in every country at that time.
The Americas, Portugal and England basically invented the slave trade on the great scale between continents. Yes, slavery has been practiced since the dawn of man, but never as brutally as the trans atlantic slave trade. So lets not be so quick to justify and dismiss.
